ABOUT ME
I'm an Australian drummer based in Berlin.
Available for live, studio and session work.
Tracking drums and sound engineering at Lumen Studio Berlin.
Teaching private lessons on request.
I play vintage and modern styles and sounds with a focus on feel, musicality, dynamics and tonal choices.
I try to approach client's music from a zoomed-out, producer's perspective - shaping the best drum sounds for the music through tuning, equipment selection, micing setups, and post processing / effects.
I perform and record with acoustic, electronic and hybrid setups.
I have over 20 years of experience performing in settings ranging from jazz (early and modern), soul, RnB, hip hop, folk, indie, singer-songwriter, reggae, orchestras, and world music including various Brazilian, Cuban, North African and Middle Eastern styles.

REMOTE DRUM SESSIONS BY AIDAN LOWE
Lumen Studio was built to allow producers and artists to have live drums recorded on tracks, without the expense and time associated with traditional studio hire, setup and equipment transport.
I'm able to offer flexibility and a fast workflow/turnaround, creating more opportunities to have a living breathing musician on songs instead of programmed or looped samples.
I create completely unique, original sounds and parts tailored to each track after discussions with the artist/producer.
I'm happy to contribute my own ideas for production / multitracking / effects / postprocessing as necessary, and usually send separate raw and processed stems to my clients to use as they please.
I typically provide 12 channels: Kick in + out, Snare top + bottom, OH L + R, Rack, Floor, Hihat, Room mics L + R and an additional mono mic overhead or in the center of the kit for use as an effects mic.
HOW IT WORKS
1.
Send me a bounce of your track
2. Communication
We'll discuss your vision for the track and my ideas, either online or in person in my studio in Neukölln.
3.
Tracking
I'll track my drums in my studio, and send you back the raw files (12 channels) for you to import into your session.
I offer revisions as necessary.
